Speaking during remarks on the ongoing conflict, Trump suggested the idea has been considered as part of broader strategies to pressure Tehran and protect global energy routes. Trump also referenced past situations where control of energy resources played a role in geopolitical strategy, arguing that access to oil can have major economic and security implications.
